Recent polling averages across multiple outlets place United Torah Judaism at seven to eight Knesset seats ahead of the October 27 election, reflecting the party’s stable Ashkenazi Haredi voter base and consistent performance near the upper end of that range. A surplus-vote agreement signed with Shas on October 11 aims to maximize combined representation on core religious issues, including yeshiva student exemptions. Chairman Yaakov Asher has conditioned coalition participation on prior passage of draft legislation, while active campaigning and new headquarters openings target higher turnout in key areas like Jerusalem. A newer Haredi list has yet to register meaningfully in surveys, leaving trader consensus centered on the 7-8 seat band as the most probable outcome.
Rules
Legislative elections are expected to be held in Israel on October 27, 2026. This market will resolve according to the number of seats won by United Torah Judaism in the Israeli Knesset as a result of this election. If United Torah Judaism contests this election as part of a joint candidate list with one or more parties, all seats won by the joint candidate list will be counted. If United Torah Judaism merges with another party prior to the election, all seats won by the resultant merged party, or any joint candidate list through which it contests the election, will be counted. If the results of this election are not definitively known by October 31, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to the lowest range bracket. This market's resolution will be based solely on the number of seats won by United Torah Judaism in this election. This market will resolve based on the election results, as indicated by a consensus of credible reporting. If there is ambiguity, this market will resolve based solely on the official results as reported by Israel’s Central Election Committee (Va'adet HaBehirot HaMerkazit) (https://www.gov.il/en/departments/central-elections-committee/govil-landing-page).
